Many platforms offer free hosting services for React and other JavaScript frameworks. These frameworks can be used for building single-page applications, which is handy when you need to launch a minimum viable product or a quick proof of concept. Your fellow developers are taking advantage of these tools, and you can too. To narrow down options, I will focus on Firebase in this tutorial.
As of 2021, roughly 5.7 million mobile apps are available in app stores — 2.2 million for iOS and 3.48 million for Android users. Given the massive numbers, customers have a wide variety of choices. With such a high number of apps available, customer satisfaction is paramount, which means avoiding customer churn and retaining users.
CircleCI is popular among Android developers for several reasons: it’s quick to get started, fast to execute your builds with high parallelism, (whether native, cross- or multi-platform), and even supports running Android emulators right from CircleCI with our Android machine images. This article will show you how to build and test Android applications for an example project on the CircleCI platform.
Developers are building features at an unprecedented speed using what they need from the software ecosystem. These ever-expanding options include open-source libraries and packages, SaaS tools, deployment systems, cloud services, and more. To keep things secure, we always need the same thing: a secret.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to build a custom ASP.NET Core container with Docker and host the container image on Azure Container Registry, a platform owned by Microsoft that allows you to build, store, and manage container images in a private registry. At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to apply the knowledge gained here to link your container image on the Microsoft Azure registry with a web app service and launch your application.
In just a decade, smartphones have become ubiquitous. They facilitate communication via texting and calling, provide entertainment, enable administration, and offer utilities for their users in the form of applications. Users access these mobile applications through their app store, whether it is Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store. Developers construct them with the smartphone’s operating system in mind. The two mainstream operating systems that are targeted are Android and iOS.
The CircleCI visual config editor (VCE) is now generally available as an open source project. Development teams can now create and modify CircleCI config files in a visual drag-and-drop, low-code environment. The VCE is a node-graph editor that you can use to modify CircleCI config elements and generate config files. It provides a frictionless way to build CI/CD pipelines and interact with CircleCI’s platform in an efficient, user-friendly visual interface.
This is the second tutorial in a two-part series. You can also learn how to automate AWS Lambda function deployments to AWS CDK.
This is one of a two-part series. You can also learn how to automate the deployment of FeathersJS apps to Heroku. In the software development lifecycle, testing offers benefits that reach far beyond the code itself. Testing assures all parties (developers, clients, project managers, etc) that, while the application may not be completely bug-free, it does what is expected, as expected.
Testing is a vital part of the mobile app development process. Your team can use testing to evaluate the quality, security, and reliability of mobile apps before releasing them to your users. Users who expect their applications to be highly performant and intuitive. There are two ways DevOps teams can perform testing for mobile apps: on-premise (also called self-hosted) or in the cloud. But which of these is the best option for your team?
